Description of problem: If I filter a man page for a keyword that doesn't exist, I get an error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-pages-4.16-4.fc30.noarch man-db-2.8.4-4.fc30.x86_64 But it's reported to happen in Fedora 29, and I've also reproduced it in Fedora 30 and Rawhide. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: [chris@flap ~]$ man rpm | grep -C 10 rpmverbosity <standard input>:176: warning [p 3, 0.8i]: cannot adjust line [chris@flap mantest]$ man rpm >rpm.stdout 2>rpm.stderr [chris@flap mantest]$ ll -rw-rw-r--. 1 chris chris 62 Jul 16 14:24 rpm.stderr -rw-rw-r--. 1 chris chris 28498 Jul 16 14:24 rpm.stdout Actual results: An error Expected results: Nothing Additional info: Posted this problem to devel@ and received this reply: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/HNFQL6MF3DC4SSIJZK273Q4J7NYWQ7KT/ (This also happens on Fedora 29, JFTR.)

It already has hints ("\:"; zero-width break points) where it should be broken, but these seem to be ignored.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle. Changing version to '31'.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle. Changing version to 31.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '31'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 31 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-24. Fedora 31 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

My analysis was wrong: The warning does not indicate that the line cannot be broken, but cannot be justified because there are no spaces between the "words". On the groff mailing list (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2021-02/msg00084.html), a solution was proposed to format the default value as a code block instead, with one file/glob per line, and this has been merged upstream (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/commit/23c11c6f5d4e40a26d502b6af9980ace7fc61226).
